I’m a child. My heart is very frail
but my body is an iron helmet. I
can hear the bullets. However,

22. The Rebirth
A day like today eleven years ago I was
reborn to the best of my being. A revival
that brought me to the joy as well as to
the fear. The unconcern gave way to the
concern but also to the conviction that the
best of my life will endure after my death.
Today is my son's birthday.
